Inertial DriftNeed for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed
Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 8
Inertial Drift leans harder on execution: Twin-stick drift mechanic demands precise asymmetric input simultaneously
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 1
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization5 vs 4
Inertial Drift leans harder on optimization: Optimal drift entry speeds per corner are fully learnable and solvable
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
